today's news on the week's top stories deadly violence stoked by now and islam from the front pages across the muslim world as crowds call for revenge on the q where. questions of a georgian democracy protesters demand an end to brutality after videos of alleged torture in the country's prisons come to the one eight. hundred eighty occupy wall street activists are arrested in new york as they march to mark again since they've demanded economic and social equality.

hello and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news live from moscow. with the latest news and the week's top stories tens of thousands have been venting their anger over the u.s. made on to muslim film for two weeks now protesters have been gathering in canada germany and israel schools have been injured in the capital of bangladesh protesters threw stones and set fire to calls while police used tear gas and batons to subdue crowds massive demonstrations were held in pakistan these descended into violence on friday killing at least twenty people in islamabad thousands tried to breach the u.s. embassy while another city is crowded set fire to cinemas and burned a lutheran church one pakistani minister of that one hundred thousand dollars to those who killed them a cold day and islam fell however the country's leadership denounced his move as

all he is going to take our reports now they've vetoes not the only things in tamarack. the white house keeps saying it was just the anti islamic video that calls the muslims rats across the world this is not a case of. protests directed at the. states writ large or a us policy this is in response to a video that is offensive but that's a claim no one is buying it ministration wants us to believe it's not the administration's policies that have generated this behavior it's this one idiotic piece of so-called film which is what out there for two months well it is you know you said it's stupid film that nobody seen causes people to assassinate ambassadors to storm the embassy and the question the us media keep asking why do so many millions of hate the usa but the answers they're getting are the answers very few in the us want to hear if you were to point to one thing that makes some muslims

hate the usa it would be. hypocrisy over democracy. while america the government now preaches democracy it has propped up authoritarian leaders but that's not the only accusation of hypocrisy that washington is facing there's also u.s. policy makers failure to condemn the violence when it suits their goals like the numerous terrorist attacks in syria washington seems to approve of them as long as they are targeting supporters of the government or another act of violence a rebel mob executing colonel qadhafi the u.s. secretary of state cheered at the news yes we came we saw he died but that. washington's failure to condemn all violence equally has prompted radicals to take an even more aggressive course if most americans understood what was being done in our name in the stabilizing the middle east and north africa it would be absolutely

horrified what other result to me expect these people they have no hope their economies are destroyed they see their calling for foreign invaders of course this kind of thing is going to happen when the tragedy in libya happened the international community wholeheartedly pinned down to the attacks on american diplomats but the u.s. . it's part has been quite selective in condemning violence it could be that the white house thought by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change they were winning hearts and minds in the muslim world but that doesn't appear to be the case for now the obama administration constantly refers to the film as the sole reason behind what's happening a reasoning which basically allows them to avoid addressing the deeper issues in washington i'm going to check on. on such as a full people died in the latest u.s. drone strike in pakistan despite the country's repeated requests to stop. and people are said as brian becker says such actions have been breeding anger which

has now because of the un to islam film the film is offensive in is disgusting is it is should be understood as nothing but a catalyst or a trigger the pent up frustration anger i would say rage that exists not only in pakistan but throughout the muslim world that's accumulated over the past decade as a consequence of the in beijing of iraqi invasion and occupation of afghanistan the in this drone attacks against pakistan the killing of nineteen pakistani soldiers by u.s. forces there supposedly is it that border a year ago all of these elements are contributing to a picture in the atmosphere where there is great rage in the film is disgusting as it is could never have triggered these protests if it wasn't for the larger context .

this week public anger has rocked georgia in reaction to a prison abuse scandal where the government is now scrambling to save face period flood after leaks video showed inmates being tortured and raised by god's one of the country's jails on friday four protesters were arrested after trying to break through a police cordon but despite the resignation of several georgian officials and the interior minister there are strangers say they won't rest until every one responsible is held to account prison guards across the country have been replaced with police officers but inmates say they fear the brutality will continue to spin off reports now from tbilisi. transparency the one way to zero tolerance. the videos that hurried toward his

image making efforts in a matter of minutes the scenes of torture beatings and the sexual abuse of inmates allegedly in one of the country's most exemplary prisons just ask of the. human dignity is the last thing they care about it i never believe this worse than just one bit about the most amazing fifty or. thousands protested with signs reading the reply address the georgian authorities some are comparing the polish to that from guantanamo even though these are. not terrorist suspects many not only want the sacking of officials responsible for the police and the prison system but the prosecution as well. as the i mean look at everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over the country which is in the video was leaked by a former member of staff at the infamous jail or since forward to go to jail. he claims not only did georgian officials know about the use the order is to happen

and have a documented the atmosphere at the entrance to the good money prison is extremely tense but this is not a protest rally these people are relatives of inmates who are still inside the prison and they are demanding an explanation that leads brother has already spent seven months behind bars and says georgia's democracy beacon image aimed at the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up. to chile it's real pretty on the outside sure it's easy for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls. president saakashvili came as a standing thought several prison officials are now under a criminal investigation and all jail staff have been temporarily substituted with police officers the head of the ministry responsible for the penitentiary system has resigned but for many georgians it's too little too late in a country with a population half the size of paris twenty five thousand inmates is enough to

affect nearly every family in one way or another either relatives friends or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new problem in the next two were the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for the reputation to be rescued in time. of r t c george. and he caught up with a former staff member from be in from his georgian jail who leaked the shocking d.j.'s a bit because it has left the country and is now seeking political asylum in belgium i think claims georgian officials knew about the case so that they regimes ideological opponents often becoming the victims of torture. you know george's interior minister should be videos to the president it was just for fun for no particular reason it was like we do what we want with people want to take you to presume you are nobody you have new dignity this is why these videos

cause such outreach in georgia this is why all those young people who are protesting are all young people came out to putin into water for a lie has been doing alkali has resigned but this is not enough he should be arrested and try and psychosis really must resign saakashvili knew very well about it he just did it for entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics if he was suckers for his enemy they would pick him this is tim is extremely politicised if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the saakashvili regime no criticism is allowed to you should either leave or they will get to. and you can see the full interview with a former staff member from big old dunny prison in twenty minutes time here on our c and it's also available right now that's how website. and also this hour

talking and debate remain at loggerheads over just who owns a group of disputed islands. that list the red tricks on the rise in china are made escalating territorial disputes. and in france lives not so jolly for the rich and famous since harsh new government tax policy is out forcing many to leave the. country. that's later but now more than one hundred eighty people were swept into custody as occupy wall street protesters moxy get since they demanded and thence to corporate greed activists descended on the financial district and tried to block the entrance to the new york stock exchange or seasons the situation reports. i have heard that the occupy wall street movement is here after its inception of takes the big apple by storm in fifty years i think five years out it is up to you

saw it more spac and behind barricades from the wee hours of the morning. marches and acts of civil disobedience all day long images that have become all too familiar throughout the past year reoccurring protesters thrown to the ground people there to document their action knock down. activists attempting to help others wrestled by police. arms twisted handcuffs left and right over a hundred and eighty people of rested in one day when there's no place for people to come outside and to meet each other and talk about issues when that is so dangerous that you get such severe violence at police repression that nearly have a democracy for a year now occupy has fought for eradicating wealth inequality and social and economic injustice of the us give people jobs give people education get people help you you have to help the mess was no accountability for wall street bankers years

after the comic collapse. that was just still has people outraged expecting it maybe naive but demanding it is and it starts with making a statement and that's what the people here are doing skeptics had hoped that occupy camps which once flourished over the west but now have cleared out would put an end to the movement after months of camping out here in the financial district the cloudy part to what seemed to be the peak of occupy hundreds of protesters are back here on the first anniversary of the movement to show that it's very much alive. the lack of encampments protesters say was not an obstacle. we've really been able to focus on the issues that are important to us and that brought us out here in the first place of economic disparity and to end a political system that no the wrong longer represents people who don't have the money to compete and one of occupies key achievements so far triggering

a national dialogue about what matters the majority of americans the occupy movement has kept a dialogue around five fairness and equality and access to the good things that we all want that should be available to everyone and that dialogue is now in the public and the occupiers intend to do their best to keep this dialogue alive like the civil rights movement and i would say that you know that still has a long way to go. and it's been you know since before i was born i think occupy will have a similar history i think there's so much that has to be done that change is not going to be handed to us with a bow on it with no miracles just around the corner patience and perseverance the same are what will bring tangible change to the u.s. . party. and journalist and author christopher hedges says as long as the government doesn't respond to the occupy activists demands they protest

will only escalate. i think the occupy movement was a seismic shift not only in terms of the discourse but in terms of identifying the centers of power and how to respond to them i think we have to look at occupy as a tactic and because the ruling class has responded exclusively in the language of force by trying to eradicate a race these encampments rather than respond rationally hundreds of thousands of americans have lost their unemployment benefits there's been no attempt by the ruling elite to address the chronic under employment and unemployment this political paralysis is very dangerous because in an avid oblique routines a backlash we're not guaranteed to remain nonviolent or that. inclusive in a way that the occupy movement has been. and our team is working twenty four seven to provide you with the best stories and pictures online and to do take a look at what we have prepared for you on our website r.t. dot com is one accuses german companies siemens of hiding explosives in its

says have not stopped. of course the use of sectarianism as. is there. more than that is the kidnapping. few people from each village the three or four beat them up torture them not inside the torture chambers but in farms in what they call the whose houses bahrain is home to a forgotten revolution ignored by the international community under reported in the media since february last year there have been almost daily anti-government protests in the resulting crackdown around one hundred have been killed with sixteen hundred in jail including sixty children and all of bahrain's most prominent human rights activists all that in a country of only one and a half million but the u.k. government says nothing to long standing historical connection between britain and bahrain which was in fact holland in seventy one certainly the association with the

u.s. fifth fleet is the oil problem and that's the banking problem along this is harmful to our interests because sooner or later all the gulf markets are going to disappear a puff of smoke and then the regimes that succeed them will not be friendly country which is their oppressors far from being condemned representatives of the bahraini regime has been a common sight at the u.k.'s major events this summer king how much was invited to the queen's diamond jubilee celebrations in may his eldest son visited david cameron at downing street and his youngest son. who allegedly sanctioned the torture of dissident bahraini athletes was at the opening of london's olympic games but it goes further and deeper than that despite the brutal crackdown between july and september last year the u.k.

as oppressive as the syrian regime that western powers are so desperate to get rid of. london. the news making headlines around the world a prominent militia group an ace in libya has announced it will does bond and quit its bases we have been ghazi the decision was made hours after police and protesters in the city or around another militias compound assessing it ablaze hostility towards islamist groups has risen in the citizens and attack on the american consulate which claimed three lives including the u.s. ambassador to libya. the free syrian army has announced it's moving its compound center from the turkish border command center saved. the turkish border into syria itself decisions amends to help opposition forces unite in preparation for an offensive against assad's troops in damascus meanwhile rebels are claiming responsibility for downing a military plane near the syrian city of tire read while at least one hundred

headline the mayor of this area the brussels capital region is confirm that there has indeed establish residence here but the french tycoon denies his move had anything to do with french president francois laws to impose a seventy five percent income tax on those earning above one million but many suspect otherwise and the rich have become the subject of much discussion. they are quite responsible for this crisis they should pay more than the rest since they have more. because. it's the people who are responsible for the crisis. so. it depends on the rich bankers who contributed to the crisis should pay as well. along to set to soak the rich even more as he struggles to raise the money to fill a thirty billion euro hole in the country's finances to tactical use to our own doings appears should make sure you against president sarkozy was to says that's

because he was the president of the rich friends of yours the income tax rates going up but on top of that. and then on top of that tax. and on top top top of the seventy four percent tax that's where really thinking about moving outside friends started but the move did go down well with everyone including some french taxpayers who fear having to foot the bill if the tax the rich strategy fails their fears are well founded as businesspeople consider losing three quarters of their income across there simply unable to bear like thirty year old entrepreneurship need to fetch he hasn't made the jump just yet but he says he may find himself with no choice is clearly that the course. it that that that's found. that's found a haven in france. which which basically promotes

stigmatization of success wealth ambition and so on and france is definitely worth its taxes to a certain extent but if the don't work in my head anymore. create more value than for others than that i do for myself with the implementation of the seventy five percent and so on clearly i will relocate as an individual and become a tax it is an a for another country like belgium for example but belgians of already taken to the streets to protest against what they call a lack of morality of the rich who come to their country to avoid a certain taxes in france's case this super tax may affect as little as three thousand people out of sixty six million and if that elite minority continues heading for the door the deficit hole will only grow and a lot may be forced to embrace the one policy he rejected throughout his election campaign a stereotype of. us are still here r t brussels. this week has seen fresh

anti jeopardy's protests in china it's come over a sharp rise in tensions involving a group of disputed islands which both excuse me sides claim is that china has also been angered over japan's plan to house a u.s. missile shield in the country and experts have warned the ongoing dispute threaten to spread further afield and sour chinese u.s. relations. what we have both sides doing is probing weaknesses of the other china feels that it's due more respect and it's using issues like the islands issue or using. some skirmishes over japan and just having constantin deflation other ballistic missile defense system has essentially two powers squaring off and while it looks like china japan and there are certainly deep historical grievances this is really about china testing the united states and its alliance with japan and to some degree i expect these kind of skirmishes to continue for a long time could be the it's games of brinksmanship it will continue to look tense

intense and dense and then you'll have moments of relaxation so what we're seeing today is a snapshot of what we're going to see for the next decade or more. you're watching on c.n.n. and in a few minutes we'll talk to a man who needs the disturbing footage from late georgian president.
